I have had the pleasure of knowing Jeff through Masters Swimming and competing with him on several occasions. What a story and what a great guy and great competitor!
Although he did not compete in the 100 at Rome, he did compete in the 400 medley relay and 800 free relay and earned gold in both!:banana:
He currently holds the 70 - 74 SCY records in the 50 and 100 free at 24.13 and 56.05 as well as the LCM records in the same events: 28.53 and 1:05.4
